Black Polo GTI 6 Speed. New pics Pg17 Armrest

Post by 9N3 Turbo »

Very small update with pics to follow next month as I am currently sat on a train back from SHIPLEY. Just dropped my Polo off at MJ Interiors for a back front and door panel retrim. Nothing major but Looking forward to when I pick it up next month (doesn't take this long just I have other commitments and only time I can collect it.)
Also purchased a Phenolic gasket from Badger 5 to help with intake temps on the warmer days/when driving it hard lol.

Also due to the fact I need to save for a house and not wanting to sell the car to fund it I recently bought a hybrid turbo, not the one I wanted but this will do for now. I just made up a bespoke intake for it rather than getting a reducer due to the fact I need to run a 3" MAF but this is in the boot of the car. Will update with pics next month.

Happy new year all.

Yeah i pick her up on the 4th February as that's when I was next available to collect her :(

As mentioned its nothing to big as i love the OEM+ look but enough to make me excited to pick her up lol

But in the meantime i have bought her a couple of little bits to give her some love when she returns. :mrgreen:
